FIRING LINE WITH MARGARET HOOVER airs on PBS. Launched in June 2018, Firing Line maintains the character of the original series by William F. Buckley Jr., providing a platform that is diligent in its commitment to a balanced exchange of opinion. In weekly 30-minute episodes, host Margaret Hoover engages in a rigorous exchange of ideas with political leaders, cultural luminaries, thought leaders and activists who represent a wide range of ideas and perspectives. New episodes are available Fridays here on RUclips at 8:30 pm ET.
You should let Ann talk and finish her statements, Margaret.
She's right about one thing. Illegals have been exploited for decades for cheap labor, and politicians from both parties have looked the other way.
And who gets hurt the most by cheap labour?
Blacks, Hispanics and the poorest 10%
Illegals are not being exploited, because “exploited” means “to use someone unfairly for your own advantage”, and that’s not happening. They enter the country *illegally* and get hired with much better and higher paying jobs for their cheap labor in the USA (plus some considerable welfare benefits and much more security) than if they were to stay in Mexico where there’s a dearth of wealth/capital/job opportunities and lots more crime. So it’s *advantageous* to them to sell their cheap labor in the USA, considering what their only other alternative is.
BTW, I actually agree with building a wall of some kind to prevent illegal immigration through the southern border. But not because they’re being “exploited” for their cheap labor (they aren’t), and not so much because competition with illegals puts downward pressure on the wages of some low-skilled US citizens (that problem could easily be fixed by abolishing minimum wage laws and abolishing occupational licensing laws, if only republicans would make that connection and push for that). The main problems with illegal immigration are: 1) they still disproportionately get lots of welfare benefits (particularly the low skilled ones from the southern border), which costs legal taxpayers considerable money and their labor productivity doesn’t compensate for. 2) illegals from the southern border are disproportionately more likely to be violent criminals. 3) Islamic terrorists can easily sneak in through the southern border if it’s not controlled. 4) as Ann said, many illegals coming from third world or developing countries (like Mexico, Colombia, etc) bring with them the most distasteful aspects of their cultural norms, particularly corruption, disrespect for law and order generally, and a collectivist mindset that inclines them to vote for democrats and big-gov republicans who want to massively expand the welfare state and government regulations (hence massively increase gov spending), whither away the Constitution, and erode the traditionally American (and good) cultural norms such as individualism/personal responsibility/freedom of expression.
It’s possible to assimilate some of these illegals into the traditionally American cultural norms, but it’s a slow process and not feasible when illegal immigration through the southern border is happening at the rate it’s been happening at for several decades now. That’s why we are in serious danger of entirely losing America as we know it and as it was originally conceived (which would be very bad).
@@maanelid “exploit" actually means: "to selfishly take advantage of someone in order to profit from them or otherwise benefit oneself" and in this context, the people being "selfishly taken advantage of" (by employers who hire illegal immigrants, as well as the immigrants themselves) are the people who were born here.
Illegal immigrants are not so much the victims of exploitation as they are the enablers of it (along with the employers who hire them). The victims of this exploitation are low-income people who were born here in the USA, whose economic prospects are diminished by competition from people who are not legally permitted to be here.
I used to despise Ms. Coulter! After my walkaway I think she’s completely right and spot on!
Walked away to where?
#walkaway
@@caribbeantigress Walk Away to what though?
@@Acujeremy walk away from the democratic party. The Democrats lies etc..
@@xcen1 I am not a Democrat.
Ann, such a breathe of fresh air!
She's a Karen through and through!
This is such a great program. She always has all kinds of people on regardless of which political party.
Great info Ann, you've done a great job keep up the good work.
We need more Ann; now more than ever. I want to hear her take on what is going on today!!!
I haven't heard much from her. What's going on?
@@arreola891 Yeah, no recent interviews whatsoever. I wonder if it's because she doesn't support Trump anymore?
@@arreola891 guessing it's the youtube algorithm termites. i miss ann's brave spice.
Just go watch a hitler speech
Coulter always promoted her books on "The View". That stopped a few years ago....I wonder why?
This is one of the most fair interviews I've seen of her.
I think she is a shill. So it’s working.
Would have been for not the interviewer interrupting Ann every 5 seconds. Oh, never mind, it's PBS...
I agree.👍
I would love to hear her today a year later!
You have to admit, Margaret Hoover is a lady of intelligence, poise, and composure. Bless her for challenging fiery rhetoric, but also seeing that - sometimes - when you get beyond that, there are elements that deserve discussion and debate.
James Frangione well said.
Shes also drop dead smokingly gorgeous. 10/10
Ann is a prophet, the administration is turning America into a third world hell hole. Hoover's just a common lefty, full of bull
Not WF Buckley
“The presidency is NOT what he campaigned on”… loved that
Ann is very intelligent!! Who got the LAST Laugh!! Ann is more in touch with us the working class people! Good call Ann, always keep your head up!! Never let them get you down. Ann should get into politics!! I think she would be Great for the common person.
She is on point about equalizing the economy a little bit and helping our own poor.
Sad but it's a pipe dream
Now THAT'S an interviewer I want to follow. She does a perfect job in letting us know what the interviewee has to say. Take notes, America.
I wish each party had facts, and presented them, in order to support her position. Without them, we're just accepting the arguments that sounds reasonable to us, but we don't have the facts.
Ann Coulter the coolest Miss American Pie to get in a dress! This lady ought to run for office! Hell yes❣️
She is absolutely right!
Ann Coulter is a courageous caring intelligent Patriot for the USA.
Ann coulter is spot on about immigration. It doesn't effect the Koch bros. or other super wealthy people at all, it just helps their bottom line... The one truly affected are the middle and lower classes who see their wages go down because of cheap labor.
@Andrew McLaughlin Not me. I know that corn is toxic and not naturally occuring on Earth. MOST people don't have a clue how bad eating corn is.
IMO, she's wrong when she says that we can assimilate ANYONE; there are some cultures, religions that are just simply too different from American culture/society. There's one that's commanded to not assimilate, and to eventually spread their influence in the society.
@@JH-dm6gk Are you talking about Jehovahs Witnesses, Amish or Mormons?
@@davespanksalot8413 Islam
@@JH-dm6gk You know the Koran is made up of the Old Testament, the New Testament plus Mohamad’s teachings right? And it says to follow the teachings of the Old Testament and the teachings of Jesus except when it conflicts with Mohamad’s teachings? Jews, Christians and Muslims are all part of the same religious family. Indonesia is the largest Muslim country but no one really notices because they’re peaceful and get along with everyone, Christians, Buddhists and drunk tourists.
Ann is awesome.
This video needs more views
Why does she get so much crap? She is spot on. Which part is not true? If politicians actually listened to her, we'd all be better off. This interview was so well done, it wasn't a hit job like most. Well done. NOTE: Did anyone notice that this woman hasn't aged since 1998?
I wish Ann would run as president! I love this woman
How right she was
How can we get more Ann!!!!!!!!??????
Margaret Hoover asked her some good questions.
Why is this uploaded only now, and not one and a half years ago???
because they decided to? bruh what.
I love Ann and she's soooo rite on immigration
@@Kevin_Harte RIGHT okay now? dumb ass...
You think all mexican people are bad like this?
@@TKR377 absolutely not.....that's cray cray....i think they need to be legal and pay taxes...
I don't believe Immigrants are bad, I just believe they should enter the country legally, pay taxes, and return back to their homeland once they are in a position to do so.
@@zxb5998 yeah, that would be a working visa with a hella lot of complications...I can't blame illegals and i don't. I blame americans who hire them.
the effects of sipping moonshine from a corn jug all day is apparent with coulters interview
Ann Coulter was actually making some sense here. Wish the interview lady stopped cutting her off and gave her more time to elaborate before firing topic changing questions at her.
There were time limitations.
She’s a brilliant and best selling author
She a white joke
It's a crappy Nov 6, but this video made my day. Ann, thank you. It is so good to hear someone so smart, pragmatic, articulate and patriotic. You are one of a kind. and Americans need you.
I am sad to hear they are on opposite sides. I do like to hear Ann Coulter's comments.
Good.
I am glad to read the first sentence of your post.
Used to really dislike Coulter, But she makes very good points. I agree with most of everything she said.
Social Democrat here and I completely agree with Ann
Ann Coulter would be a great president
We don't need a lady president
such a terrific news program. Margaret, you are the best.
Wow Margaret Hoover, you are so impressive with your interviewing and very quick thinking. You were never rude, or belittled Ann, as so many do, as she makes it very easy to do lol but at the same time you are not scared to cut her off and drop some facts and ask those hard questions. And you low key made me like Ann in some ways, like immigration. She wasn’t over the top like other talk shows, you were able to have an actual conversation with Ann which I’ve never seen her do in another interview.
100% agree
Margaret is okay, but she interrupts far too much.
Can't let Ann talk too much; she'll make too much sense and many Liberals watch this show.
Hoover brings up "9,000 lies (which I heard is up to 20k)".
If you haven't read them, you only need to read the first few. If memory serves it's
that "Trump says we've been in Afghanistan 20 years...it's actually 19". They not only continue but worse,
but the 20k comes from how many times they were allegedly repeated.....NOT individual lies.
THE SOURCE is the "Washington POST"....DOA!
Hoover always so desperate to be accepted by the self-ordained intellectual/moral/sentient elite....FAIL!!!

She’s no Buckley.
She reminds me of Margaret Brennan of Face The Nation, She does the same thing.
She makes a lot of sense. I’d love her to lead the republican party
the interruptions aren't bad at all, and half of them is because of the editing... an interview can contain interjection.
Ann coulter for president!
Building the wall required building roads. It actually made it easier to get into the country.
I enjoyed this.
Did they cut out some part of the exchange at 17:20?
Fuck me let Ann speak!! We wanna hear the Coult!
so damn true Ann
Oh! Goodie! Interview with Roach Coach Barbie!
14:25 What’s the thing which is not going to happened ? - Whatever Trump had just promised. Damn, this is the best summary of the Trump ‘ s presidency!!!!
Both of these woman are excellent.
@ 8:31 "I always thought there was a difference - a *big* difference - between the Republican and Democratic parties. And suddenly on the big issues that matter to most Americas... Un-Uhh... Both parties are just responding to the donors."
4:42, I was watching this when it was new.
I'm watching this in 2024 and I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the fact that most Maga supporters are still talking about Trump will do a better job with the Border
I want to know what Ann thinks of Mary trumps book.
Ms Coulter's primary failing is that she does not use the Lamp of Liberty to guide her opinions.
Anyone who listens to Anne Coulter and is converted to her has no moral center or understanding of issues she's talking. But yes, Hoover is a very good interviewer.
Ann Coulter have your discussion about your opinion about Trump with Mark Levin. People can listen to both of your points
That’s funny that Trump wanted her book the funny and hilarious part of that is he doesn’t read
Ann is a piece of work.
This discussion seems old. When was this recorded?
April 2019
So it isn't just me, then. I couldn't decide if she was trying to stick to her script and pull Coulter back onto it regardless of what she was talking about (it seemed that some pretty interesting tangents came up that it would have been fun to see explored) or if she was just trying to make sure that Ann didn't go off the rails as she is sometimes known to do.
Interviewers have to keep Ann in check or she'll ramble on forever
Biden just blew Coulters analysis of what a Democrat can get away with.
What where they taking about?
I love how she grins whenever she gets criticized by the Left.
Their anger makes her stronger
She knows they're at least listening
@@Adam-sh1xx
So you think..
CLOSE THE BORDER NOW !!!
Wow lot of talking over. Let Ann answer a question
Exactly!
I remember back in 2015 when he first announced. Shame he lost his roots!
These roots have never been "his", he always only PRETENDED to stem from these roots.
Trump's roots are laughing at mid America who don't got to the right colleges and live in the right buildings.
5:17, Post edit?
6:50, what happened?
Hoover is very stealthily crushing her rhetoric. When she brings up the Clinton lying clip. 19:41 Incredible.
Does anyone know if she has been approached by the republican party?
Ann is the classic high school cheer leader that got dissed by the star QB to the homecoming dance. DJT can drive a person mental as Ann clearly has demonstrated.
Terrible analogy and also apparently an inability to understand coherent arguments from Ann
I really appreciate her comments about Bernie Sanders here. “I don’t care about the socialist stuff - can we please just do something for blue collar workers?”
This woman is not a nazi.
Omg actually my favourite part came right after that when she asked her about AOC - I’ve always wanted to know what Ann has to say about her, and I’m Not disappointed!!
Love Ann
Not like the old Firing Line unfortunately.
Where is Ann ????
No political genius and maybe I'm wrong but lil hard to tackle immigration when it's one man vs the entire establishment republican and democrat the man was outnumbered badly
Biden 2015.
“I’m proud of the American record on culture and economic integration of not only our Muslim communities but African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities,” Biden said. “And the wave still continues. It’s not going to stop. Nor should we want it to stop. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the things I think we can be most proud of.”
This was 4/19/19. Accord to their list.
Caucasian public school teachers speak clear American English as do many other well educated disciplines. Caucasian teachers set an example for how the children should converse. We need more of them in all levels of the public schools.
I’d hate to see how boring you are in bed
Or would I love it?
I wish the interviewer wouldn't speak over the guest all the time. Also, you've cut out most of Ann's answers. What's the point of having her at all?
9:56, better than nothing.
You can keep your doctor and your plan.
4:32, I like her style.
she is with Bernie Sanders medicare for all program? I am with this girl, this is awesome!
Can the the woman interviewing Ann let her finish a freaking sentence?!? One of the reasons we HATE the media

This is not 2 weeks ago
when she said we have to take care of OUR OWN what do most of you think she meant?WASPs only.
She asks a question then interrupts the answer...irritating
The immigration issue is tough...I dont see most "real americans" doing the hard, laborious, long hours tough work even if the pay was decent...truth is most "real americans", even poor ones, feel entitled and don't really want to work hard not to mention the fact that most folks have horrible money habits nowadays as well.
other societies....how could you not agree???
"Ann is the media equivalent of a WWE wrestler. She's a IRL troll and she's very good at it. I personally don't believe she has a personal ideology about these topics. She just knows she can stir the shit and people will talk about her."
carry on coping. that's just a craven ploy to dodge her arguments.
@Bruce Wayward in my 30's...
She is stucked in a small circle of ideas, still enjoying the fact that someone is paying attention to her, she is narcissist, and spoiled , and hopes to sell her books.
Kayfabe.
Ann Culter For President.
Trump was so right about immigration.
I don’t agree with Ann’s racist undertones, referring to foreign cultures as misogynistic and inferior to American culture. But I do appreciate that she is willing to call out Republicans and Democrats for being way too corporate friendly and partisan.
Why not? She is right. Men treat Women terrible in those countries! They do not view them as their equals.
It is not racist to posit that one culture is better than another vis-a-vis achieving certain desirable outcomes.
Woman from foreign culture. We're not inferior, just different but yes, our cultures are very misogynistic. I grew up having to dodge instances of a man r@ping me since I was about 8. We're trained to structure our lives around avoiding male violence as soon as we can understand what our parents are saying. I can't even get into a public vehicle without checking to see if there are enough women in it to surround myself with
Ann moving slowly over to the left or the fence. Playing it safe ?
0:49, She is a noble Republican, so, they probably are listening.
I am not red or blue but I like Ann.
sound is so bad
Margaret Hoover grossly understated the possible negative impacts of immigration on the domestic work force postulated by labour economist George Borjas. Ann Coulter is a lawyer, not an economist and was obviously not familiar with Borjas’s work, so understandably her defence was a little weak. Borjas’s essential conclusion, which Margaret did not state (from his book “We Wanted Workers: Unraveling the Immigration Narrative”) was that: “a 10 percent increase in the size of a skill group probably reduces the wage of that group by at least 3 percent.” This would, pace Hoover, apply to any skill group. She was obviously just taking Borjas’s results from his re-examination of Canadian Nobel economics laureate David Card’s study of the impact of the Mariel boatlift on wages of native-born Floridans, which found it had no ill effect. The Marielitos were predominantly males who had not completed high school, and Borjas that found that for the most comparable part of the Florida labour force: male non-Hispanic high school dropouts, there was a catastrophic drop in their average wages, and it took a full decade to recover. Nevertheless, Card, the author of the discredited study on the boatlift, won the Nobel prize, not Borjas, so even in economics it seems it is more important to be politically correct than it is to be right. In any case, it was certainly not true that Borjas found only negative labour impacts for this particular demographic (and this was for Florida, not for the US). See his section on the collapse of the Soviet Union, where he talks about how the immigration of a thousand Soviet mathematicians in its aftermath led to an unprecedented 12% unemployment rate among recent American mathematics graduates looking for work. This would seem to be just the kind of immigration that Ann Coulter favours, as these Soviet mathematicians were among the best and the brightest. However, it makes Borjas’s point that there will be winners and losers with big increases in immigration flows, and native-born workers will sometimes be the losers. It’s not just a problem of high-school dropouts and there would be no problem if every American completed high school. That’s simply naïve.
Where is Ann Now 🤨
Her border comments didn't age well...
